Riverside walk

Set off yesterday to go the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds, as they always have special events on Bank Holiday Mondays. However, as it was such a nice warm and sunny day, decided it was a shame to be indoors, so after having lunch at my favourite watering hole in Leeds, Whitelocks pub, went on a walk alongside the River Aire. These were the first two shots I took, of the tall Bridgewater Place building rising up from behind Victoria Bridge. Just as I was composing V1, a narrow boat conveniently came along to add a bit of extra interest - just a pity I didn't get it more to the left And, it wasn't until I loaded the images onto the computer that I realised there was flare coming in from the left on V2, but think I rather like the effect it's produced

Why not join for free today?

You have the wake of the narrow boat visible, which relieves the texture of the water!
And on a hot day I imagine Whitelock's would be a good refuge . . .
Good use of vertical format, Trev.

Two extremely good compositions capturing the old and the new or vice versa. I particularly like the natural framing caused by the imposing foliage from the overhanging tree. When it comes down to nominating a favourite its a tuffy Trev. Image one is full of interest, the barge making for a great focal point, however I rather like the shards of light cascading across the canal to the tow path so I shall opt for image number two today "Superb" Love your style of processing as it is non evasive and really lift the image.

V2 is my favourite, I like the flare, and the way you have used the handrail and its shadow, but I also like the framing foliage being more prominent and along the right side, not competing with the building.
